I'm working with a budget of £1200/$1600 and need a parts list that ships to England. This is just a rough draft and I'm open to changes. You can view the parts list here: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/ZTWHmC. Any feedback would be appreciated! Thanks 🙂

Consider the durability of your SSD; the P3 Plus uses QLC flash, which isn’t very durable and tends to slow down after a few years. You might want to look into a better drive with TLC flash like the Kioxia Exceria Plus G3 or the WD Blue SN580. Those are more reliable options.
Everything looks solid, but I’d recommend checking the RAM. Aim for CL30 if you can find it for about an extra £10. Also, the prices seem a bit high for a 5060 Ti build; it might just be local pricing though. Let me know what you find!
You probably don’t need liquid cooling for the 7800X3D since it’s pretty power-efficient. A £15 air cooler like the Thermalright Assassin Spirit V2 would do just fine. If you're not playing CPU-heavy games, it might be better to invest more in the graphics card instead! Maybe consider a Ryzen 7600X with an RTX 5070 for a good price combo.
Overall, I think the list is looking good!
Honestly, most of my games are the complete opposite of CPU-heavy. Here’s my new list for reference: [https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/CfdBBq](https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/CfdBBq).
The 5060 Ti is just below £400/$540. I swapped the RAM for CL30. Any other GPU suggestions would be great, I’m open to Nvidia or AMD.
